Indigo Girls

Isn't it odd Bob Dylan and Don McLean are so much better known than the Indigo Girls? First, Amy Ray's "Didn't Know a Damn Thing" has equivalent, if not better, lyrics than many of Dylan's songs. (Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.) 

Second, their story is amazing. Two young girls met each other in elementary school, knew they were different, bonded over music, and sang together for decades. Though one was older and on a different academic schedule, they always found ways to reunite. 

I hope you'll get a chance to hear these two women, especially if they sing "Closer to Fine." 

Advertising in 1957: a Tragicomedy in 3 Parts

Two ads from the same 1957 American magazine featuring Audrey Hepburn and Jayne Mansfield. What's a woman to do?

Have thin legs? Get fuller!

Have "heavy" legs? Slenderize!

Bonus: at least the magazine is comprehensive in its remedies.
